Yesterday we kicked off the Sweet Sixteen with a match up from the Series & Sequels bracket. #7 RESIDENT EVIL garnered 80% of the votes and beat #6 28 Weeks Later is a match that ended up not being as close as I thought it would be. Today we go to another heavyweight match up from the Romero/Of The Dead bracket.

#2 Dawn Of The Dead (1978) vs Dawn Of The Dead (2004)

That’s right, it’s the original vs the remake – the Romero helmed survivors-in-a-mall epic against the Zack Snyder-helmed survivors-in-a-mall epic.

#2 DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) – Following an ever-growing epidemic of zombies that have risen from the dead, two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members, a traffic reporter, and his television executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.

#3 DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004) – A nurse, a policeman, a young married couple, a salesman, and other survivors of a worldwide plague that is producing aggressive, flesh-eating zombies, take refuge in a mega Midwestern shopping mall.
